Most estates don't need a new security system. They need the one they have to work properly, work together, and be upgraded where it counts.
Upgrades follow the phased approach in Qyvea's estate security solutions.
| System | Often kept | Common upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| CCTV | Cameras still producing usable images | Recorder with analytics; IP cameras at blind spots |
| Electric fence | Posts and wires in good condition | Zoned energizer, alarm to gatehouse, earthing |
| Gates | Structurally sound gates and motors | Barrier, ANPR trigger, safety beams, battery backup |
| Access control | Compatible readers | Central resident database |
| Visitor logging | (paper book) | Digital visitor management |
For CCTV specifically, see HD vs IP CCTV and DVR vs NVR.
Qyvea works on systems installed by other companies. The assessment documents what's there, what works and what can be integrated. See existing security system upgrades.
Not necessarily. Many estates keep working cameras and upgrade the recorder, add IP cameras at gaps, or phase a move from HD to IP.
Yes. We assess, document and integrate existing systems where they're technically compatible.
By phasing: critical security first, then automation, intelligence and infrastructure as budgets allow.
